The Space to Create
This is where where the next big ideas will be born, where real-world products are created, and where students of all ages and backgrounds hone the skills they need to build a brighter future.
In a state-of-the-art center for science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) education, K-12 students work together to increase their comfort and confidence in STEAM fields in our Makerspace, Technology Lab, Fabrication Workshop and Incubation Hub.
IDEA Space also welcomes community, corporate and non-profit groups to experience the power of an idea in spaces fully equipped with tools and technology for team building and collaboration.
